UserControl's image not show on MainPage - c#

I create a UserControl that contains a static image and I want to display it on my MainPage. However, the image only displays on my UserControl without displaying on MainPage.
This is my UserControl XAML:
<UserControl
x:Class="Example.Views.UserControls.Gift.GiftView"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:Example.Views.UserControls.Gift"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<Grid x:Name="RootLayout">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
<RowDefinition Height="90"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Border Grid.Row="1" Background="#dedede">
<StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
<Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate >
<Grid Background="{Binding FleetTabColor}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Height="40" Width="40" Source="../Assets/Icon/unselect_gift.png" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<TextBlock Foreground="Black" Margin="0" Grid.Row="1" FontSize="12" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="Gift"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
</Button>
<Button Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" >
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate >
<Grid Background="{Binding FleetTabColor}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Height="40" Width="40" Source="../Assets/birthday.png" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<TextBlock Foreground="Black" Margin="0" Grid.Row="1" FontSize="12" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="BirthDay"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
</Button>
<Button Grid.Column="2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch">
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate >
<Grid Background="{Binding FleetTabColor}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"></RowDefinition>
<RowDefinition Height="Auto"></RowDefinition>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Image Height="40" Width="40" Source="../Assets/package.png" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
<TextBlock Foreground="Black" Margin="0" Grid.Row="1" FontSize="12" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Text="Package"/>
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
</Button>
</Grid>
</StackPanel>
</Border>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
And this is my MainPage XAML:
<Page
x:Class="Example.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:local="using:Example"
xmlns:menu="using:Example.Views.UserControls.Menu"
xmlns:popup="using:Example.Views.UserControls.Popup"
xmlns:giftview="using:Example.Views.UserControls.Gift"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<Grid x:Name="Root">
<Grid Background="#FFCFD4E2">
<Grid Visibility="Visible">
<giftview:GiftView x:Name="GiftViewTest" DataContext="{Binding GiftViewModel}"/>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Page>
When I try to clear my project, the image will shows correctly on my MainPage Preview. But when I rebuild my project, it will disappears on my preview again.
How can I do this?


Almost certainly your image cannot be found at runtime.
You'll need to check your project outputs to make sure the assets are in the correct folder.
More than likely you should use resources to access the images: see this other stackoverflow question
Example User Control that works as expected:
<UserControl x:Class="WpfApp1.UserControl1"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<StackPanel Orientation="Vertical">
<Button>
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<Grid>
<Image Height="20" Width="40" Source="http://lorempixel.com/400/200/" />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
</Button>
<Button>
<Button.Template>
<ControlTemplate>
<Grid>
<Image Height="20" Width="40" Source="sample-image.jpg" />
</Grid>
</ControlTemplate>
</Button.Template>
</Button>
</StackPanel>
</UserControl>

When run:
What could cause such issue where controls' initial sizes are oddly wrong and after resizing they return to "normal" or how would it be possible to fix/escape that situation leaving similar logic with custom UserControl of Window?
May this be caused by ContentPresenter part?

How to make WPF Toolkit charts expand with to fit content?

I'm trying to create some bar charts from DotNetProjects.Wpf.Toolkit that display some data totals, though the data can change at run time. The problem is that I cannot get the chart to fit the size of the content - I always have to provide a fixed value (and setting Height="Auto" doesn't work), but I don't know what the size will need to be while running. What can I do to make my chart fit the content rather than the other way around?
My XAML code looks like this:

What can I do to make my chart fit the content rather than the other way around?
Get rid of any StackPanels:
<Grid Name="panelTopGenres">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*" />
<RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<toolkit:Chart Name="chartTopGenres" Title="Top Genres" VerticalAlignment="Top"

<Button Grid.Row="1" x:Name="btnTopGenresToggle" Style="{StaticResource SmallButtonStyle}"
Content="Show All Genres" Width="120"
Margin="16,0,4,4" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Click="btnToggle_Click" />
</Grid>
A StackPanel doesn't resize its children.

How can I update this element from the viewmodel

How to link external Xaml page to a Grid in Universal Windows Platform?

So this is what I'm planning to do with my app :
I will be having different external pages like ListView.xaml and whenever user clicks a link or a tab, the part where the page is linked should be changed with the page that has been asked for.
Thanks. Any other ideas are also appreciated.

To include a Page inside of another, use the Frame object:
<Grid Grid.Row="1">
<Frame x:Name="MainFrame"></Frame>
</Grid>
Then, to load a page inside of the Frame, just call the Navigate method:
this.MainFrame.Navigate(typeof(TodoGrocery.ListView));

As Kory said, you can know how to do what you want in UWP by reading Navigation chapter in How-to guides for Windows 10 apps.
The key point here is using Frame and Frame.Navigate methods. The frame hosts the pages and keeps the navigation history.
You create as many different page types as needed to present the content in your app, and then navigate to those pages by calling the Navigate method and passing in the type of the page to navigate to. You can also pass in a parameter object to initialize the page to a particular state.
So you can change your MainPage.xaml like following to link ListView.xaml:
<Page x:Class="TodoGrocery.MainPage"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:local="using:TodoGrocery"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
mc:Ignorable="d">
<Grid Background="{ThemeResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush}">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="40"/>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid x:Name="gridView" Grid.Row="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="40" Background="#3A5194">
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="*"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="50"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="*"/>
<ColumnDefinition Width="50"/>
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Button x:Name="backButton" BorderThickness="0" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Transparent">
<SymbolIcon Symbol="Back" Foreground="White" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="40" Height="40"/>
</Button>
<TextBlock x:Name="title" Grid.Column="1" HorizontalAlignment="Center" FontSize="20" VerticalAlignment="Center" Foreground="White" Text="Todo Grocery"></TextBlock>
<Button x:Name="moreButton" BorderThickness="0" Grid.Column="2" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Background="Transparent">
<SymbolIcon Symbol="More" Foreground="White" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Width="40" Height="40"/>
</Button>
</Grid>
<Grid Grid.Row="1">
<Frame x:Name="MyFrame">
<local:ListView />
</Frame>
</Grid>
</Grid>
</Page>
Or just add a Frame in Grid:
<Grid Grid.Row="1">
<Frame x:Name="MyFrame" />
</Grid>
And in code-behind, using
MyFrame.Navigate(typeof(TodoGrocery.ListView));

I need to put a label in the right hand corner of my popup in XAML

As you see, I have a popup with a label that has an X in it. The label is fully functional. Now I just need it to look like a normal popup with the label in the top right hand corner.

Try this:
<TextBlock Background="Salmon" MinWidth="150" MinHeight="150" VerticalAlignment="Top">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="120" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="30" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
<RowDefinition Height="30" />
<RowDefinition Height="120" />
</Grid.RowDefinitions>
<Label Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Background="AliceBlue" Foreground="Black" VerticalAlignment="Top" AllowDrop="False">
X
</Label>
</Grid>
</TextBlock>
